TEL AVIV: (WNS)-Ten new letter bombs were found in.Israeli post offices this week, all of them mailed from Instanbul, Turkey. Some of the letter bombs were addressed to widely known addressees, such as Tel Aviv University's President Prof. Yuval Neeman, and the Begged-Or leather goods factory in Migdal Haemek.

BONN (WNS)-In a German television interview, a former Arab member of El Fatah's financial section revealed E3 Fatah gets $85 million a year from Arab states, primarily Libya, Saudi Arabia and the Pdrsian Gulf states.

(WNS)-Rabbi Louis Bernstein, Rabbinical Council of America president, has called on the American Orthodox community to "support the institution of the Chief Rabbinate in Israel and the two distinguished scholars who are at its head."

i Jews Reported Murdered:
Situation Threatens Remaining tews
NEW YORK, (JTA)-The recent murder of nine Iraqi Jews who had been in prison for some months was reported on Feb. 1 by Jacob Stein, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Declaring he had received this in¬ formation from unim¬ peachable sources, Stein urged the governments of the world to protest this latest atrocity inflicted upon the small Jewish community in Iraq, now numbering less than 500, compared to some 150,000 in the 1940s.
The chairman of the Presidents Conference called upon "the nations of the world to make formal protest to the government of Iraq against- this latest-' report of the murder of nine Jews and the virtually complete disen- franchisement of the remaining Jews in the country."
Stein expressed "great
concern over the worsening of the situation that threatens the total extinction of the Jews residing in Iraq. My information is that the government of Iraq has seized the property of all its Jews through newly enacted regulations. The situation of the Jews in Iraq has tragically deteriorated in the past few months to a point where life there for Jews is completely intolerable. Their only hope for life is immediate emigration."
In a statement issued before disclosure of the murders by Stein, Rep. Edward I. Koch (D.N.Y.) said in Washington that he
had asked the World Bank to. cease financial aid to the government of Iraq until Iraq Jews who wish to emigrate are allowed to do so and those remaining are free from discrimination. In a letter to the Bank's president, Robert Mc- Namara, Koch protested the recent abduction, im¬ prisonment, and harassment of Iraqi Jews. "There are many middle-aged and elderly people who have lost their jobs, their businesses have been boycotted, their assets frozen and their religious observances viewed as acts of sedition," Koch stated.

Sklare:
Jewish Family Fails To Pass On Identity
by BILL COHEN
CHRONICLE
SPECIAL REPORTER
Perhaps the most crucial problem of today's American Jewish family is that it is often failing to give Jewish children "a meaningful Jewish iden¬ tity^" according to Dr. Marshall Sklare, Professor of American Jewish Studies at Brandeis University.
Sklare, who last week spoke in Columbus as the

television said the council last. year requested to be disassociated from the series. He said the council had been associated with only the first four programs in the series, about three years agoJ.:
Bertenshaw said he would not have put the show on if he had the background on Smith he has now. He said his series also included a program about t Israel. Smith, a professional-anti- Semite and white racist used the broadcast to promote his "Christian shrine" at Eureka Springs, Ark., as a substitute for Christian holy places in Israel which he said were "marred and

DR. MARSHALL SKLARE
Rabbi -Harjry Kaplan Scholar-In-Residence,- told about 100 persons at^ the Hillel Foundation, "Just as the Jewish.family tends to help the ,child in oc¬ cupational and educational achievement, so it tends to fail him Jewishly."
\"What the Jewish com¬ munity is now in the business of doing is substituting, for the family. The synagogue is substituting for the family. The ^e\vM;^hool is sub- stiutmg for the family. The Jewish camp is substituting for the family. The Jewish Club is substituting for the family. Israel has sub¬ stituted for the family," said Sklare.' \t
"Jewish children are the blacks of our society," Sklare continued, explaining that "they come to the Jewish school not knowing ■ how to read. They come to the Jewish school without the reinforcement from the home."'
Sklare, the author of four books on Jews in the United States, listed another Jewish family problem as "Jewish-, gentile integration," especially when it leads to intermarriage.
"The introduction of gentiles into a Jewish family network breaks the regularity of that network. That network is no longer a Jewish' identity-building network. There is hardly a Jewish family, an extended kinship family, certainly outside of New York, that . does 'not have at least one gentile now in the network," said Sklare.
He stressed that while the ! second generation American Jew may believe in in¬ tegration but does not act on his idea, the third generation {inay be different.
"There is the possibility that a younger generation, raised with the integrationist psychology of Jews, is capable of acting on the integrationist sentiment, which their parents are not capable. of acting upon," said Sklare.
Another problem in the Jewish family, according to Sklare, is what he called "a diminishing interaction with ' the extended family."
Sklare emphasized that' studies show that Jewish interaction beyond the small nuclear family is still much more than that in families of other ethnic groups in the

LONDON, (JTA)-Lazar Lubarsky, a '46-yearmold engineer who was never bothered by Soviet authorities until he applied for an exit visa to Israel, was sentenced on Feb. 1 at the end of a two-day secret (rial to four years in a forced labor camp on charges of slandering the Soviet Union and giving away official state secrets. The trial was held at Rostov-On-Don.
The judge was named as Trust, a Jew, according to Jewish sources in Russia, who reported (the verdict. The' nine-page indictment accused Lubarsky, who had been chief engineer at a high tension network institute in Rostov, of writing slan¬ derous letters to Jews who had appeared on Soviet television to denounce Israel and of writing other slan¬ derous letters. The defense counsel, named as Pamynlna, argued that the letters could not constitute slander. Her efforts were severly handicapped by refusal of the court to let her
see Lubarsky's file, the sources reported.
The prosecution charged that Lubarsky had given away state secrets at the institute. Miss Pamynina said Lubarsky had simply shown a document-not classified as secret, to a fellow-worker, had received a mild reprimand and the incident closed. She added he had continued working at the same post until April, 197Q, when he was dismissed for applying for the exit visa. On the second day of the trial, 10 of the 16 defense witnesses were allowed to give evidence. Lubarsky's wife was permitted to enter the courtroom on the second day. A group of 32 Jews in Viina cabled the Rostov District Court chairman they were holding a 24-hour hunger strike in solidarity) with the engineer.''u' } Prior to the verdict,
